Eggs no more than butter should be
kept near lard, fruit, cheese, fish or any
other article from which odCrs arise.
Eggs quickly absorb foul odors and soon
the fuc flavor of the NV laid egg is
spoiled.
The true value of farming lard should
be measured by the interest which 1t
earns on given amount without reduc-
ing its fertility and after all expenses
are taken from its gross annual product.
The Dakota territorial! farmers alliance

An authority ON canned goods reveals
the interesting fact that most of the jtl-

France they call it criminal and send

Salt in water is frequently used as a
gargle, and is surely very beneficial in
some forms of throat trouble. The pro-
portions are two teaspoonfuls of salt and
a half pint of water. In chronic infam-
nations of the throat, by the addition of
one teaspConful of the tincture of cay
enne pepper to that quantity of salt and
water much greater effect will be OBJ
tanned.
Every farmer should know there is a
simple way by which the foulest meat or

cover close and let it remain until cold.

Some poorlr informed papers
who are attending Hamilton, are
making a great deal of fuss over the
alleged fact that "John Fl. Martin, a
friend and attorney ofGambrell, was
on the Coroner's jury" The idea
that he, who Is an attorney in the
case, would he upon that jury was
conjured up by some one who would
not or could not read names correct
ly; he was on the scene simply as
an attorney for the prosecution. The
statement that he was on the jury
is on a par with that other falshood
that the Coroner was u violent
Prohibitio mist, and summoned a
Prohibition jury. The man who
summoned the jury was not u
PrOhibitionist at all, and the jury be
vummOned stood four to two against
Prohibition, but one whisky man
refused to act, and the jury that
sat upon the case were three to
three upon the whisky question.

Another Assassination Planned

New and startling developments
continue TO be made in the trial OF
the Gambrcl murder cases, but
none of them were more calculated
to agitate the people, than the
statement made BY Col. Nugent
when put on the stand by the pros
ecution.
lie is Col. Hamilton's intimate
friend and attorney, and he stated
that Col. Hamilton had told him
that last summer. there was plan
on foot by the whi>ks men to assas
sinale Rnderick Gambrell, the
recently slaughtered prohibition
editor.
According to Col. Nugent, Col.
Hamilton stated that he, himself,
stopped this movement, but did not
reveal to him the names Of these
plottcrs. From this it seems that
for some time it has been a question
among these men whether or not the
fearless prohibition editor should be
allowed tn live, or whether his argu-
ments should be met and silcnced by
the assassin's bullet.
Since Col. Hamilton and his law
yer have developed this fact, the
public would like To know, for the
benefit of certain whisky men here
who could not have stopped To even
the contemplation OF such thing,
who were these plotters of assassi-
nation with whom Col. Hamilton
was ON terms sufficiently intimate to
know Of their plan and TO prevent
